Ah, I guess that's possible. In England heat isn't usually a problem, but that might explain why the same box can run as a lightly-loaded pfSense firewall for 100 days, yet it reboots within 1 minute of some high-bandwidth traffic starting. I should probably test that theory by taking the lid off the case, and pointing a big desk fan at the box during "make buildworld".
